So, I decided at the end of last year, that I wanted to make a few birthday cards to send to my friends and family members on their special days, and have them done BEFORE their day! However, at the time I want to send them, either I don't have one made, or the time just escaped me to create the perfect one in order to get them in the mail! Oh and lets be perfectly frank here - I really had an attitude towards some people, so why make a card that isn't appreciated! (You make them and send them to the ones who DO appreciate it!)
I also recently got into Stampin' Up, more for the discount than to sell - only... it is the selling part of things that is the most fun right now! To see the looks on people's faces when they get the product in their hands and create that "one thing" that sparks their interest even more that is the most fun to see! I purchased this set here - and had such a fun time in creating a few cards for my own personal stash! I started with the Cupcake Party stamp set and punch, which I found absolutely adorable to use! By simply adding a few other key tools, each card finished ended up different! All the cards shown today, were done using Stampin' Up English Garden papers as well as a few other fun tools I have!
Card #1 - I used the "Celebrate You" saying from the Cupcake Party stamp set, a Sizzix die cut flower, and a Stampin' Up flower die cut.
Card #2 - I used the other side of the paper I used above, adding a simple balloon punch, and Bakers Twine for the strings!
Card #3 - The paper used here, also was from the other side of cards I will share another time! I added the same balloon and cupcake punch from the above card! Both cards can be used for men or boys!
I had a lot of fun finishing up these cards, anxious to start to give them away! I have a list of people, and certain cards designed for certain people, and some just in case! I am going to have a much better year this year, connecting with friends and family!
Thanks for stopping by,
